  • USS Cavalla SS-244 USS Cavalla: Lucky Lady's Famous First Patrol
    USS Cavalla SS-244 Cavalla Historical Foundation 601 Tremont Street Galveston TX, 77550 Email: [email protected] http://www.americanunderseawarfarecenter.com/ USS Cavalla: Lucky Lady's Famous First Patrol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At6NshdLXXY On her maiden patrol Cavalla, en route to her station in the eastern Philippines, made contact with a large Japanese task force on 17 June. Cavalla tracked the force for several hours, relaying information which contributed to the United States victory in the Battle of the Philippine Sea (commonly known as the "Marianas Turkey Shoot") on 19 - - 20 June 1944. On 19 June she caught the carrier Shōkaku recovering planes, and quickly fired a spread of six torpedoes for three hits, enough to sink Shōkaku at 11°50′N 137°57′E. After a severe depth charging by three destroyers, Cavalla escaped to continue her patrol, with relatively minor damage by depth charges of Urakaze. The feat earned her a Presidential Unit Citation. USS Cavalla (SS/SSK/AGSS-244), a Gato-class submarine, is a submarine of the United States Navy named for a salt water fish, best known for sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier Shōkaku. Her keel was laid down on 4 March 1943 by Electric Boat Co., Groton, Connecticut. She was launched on 14 November 1943 (sponsored by Mrs. M. Comstock), and commissioned on 29 February 1944, Lieutenant Commander (later Rear Admiral) Herman J. Kossler, USN, (class of 1934) in command. Operational history Departing New London 11 April 1944, Cavalla arrived at Pearl Harbor 9 May, for voyage repairs and training. On 31 May 1944 the sub put to sea on active service for the first time.

  • Galveston Military Tourism Itinerary
    GALVESTON MILITARY TOURISM ITINERARY Few destinations have weathered the test of time through war, colonization and natural disaster and lived to tell the tale like Galveston. Steeped in American history, the island offers veterans and history buffs alike a chance to discover remnants of its fascinating past. USS Cavalla and USS Stewart Check out Seawolf Park for a quick brush up on Texas naval history. The park serves as the berthing place of the WWII submarine the USS Cavalla, a memorial to the lost submarine USS Seawolf. The Cavalla was commissioned in February 1944 by the Electric Boat Company and is known for sinking Shokaku, a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier and Pearl Harbor veteran. In 1971, the USS Cavalla was delivered to her permanent berth in Galveston. Alongside the USS Cavalla at Seawolf Park lies the USS Stewart, one of only two surviving destroyer escorts in the country. You’ll have a chance to examine Stewart’s artillery and even peer through grates with views into the engine room. Seawolf Park’s remarkable history will have you yearning to learn more, so plan on spending an hour or two here. S.S. SELMA Steel shortages during World War I led the United States to build experimental concrete ships, the largest of which was the SS Selma. Today, the ship is partially submerged in Galveston Bay. Built in Mobile, Alabama, the ship was launched the same day Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles, officially ending World War I. As a result, the 7,500-ton ship never served during the war but instead was placed into service as an oil tanker in the Gulf of Mexico.
